• Authority: Cites FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.
• Justification Type: Brand Name - items peculiar to one manufacturer, essential to government requirements, and market research indicates alternatives do not meet needs.
• Brief Description: Details the USCG's requirement for brand name Teledyne FLIR Latitude software to support the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) System, which monitors vessel traffic and provides advisories.
• Required Products: Lists specific Teledyne FLIR Gold software service agreements (1-year, per video channel, per failover channel).
